One year, there was an hunter named Tan Shunshan in Dongxiang who went out with his father to sell skins. Just arrived at Tianchiling, suddenly the wind was blowing hard, and Tan Shunshan was suddenly swept into the air. Then he opened his eyes and found himself lying on a soft mound. It was midnight and it was dark all around. Tan Shunshan is hungry and thirsty.
He struggled to get up and suddenly saw a little light in the distance, which was particularly dazzling in gold and yellow. He ran to look, but he saw a big pond ahead. The golden light came from the water and lit up the surrounding mountains a little. At this time, a big lotus flower suddenly rose in the water, and the fragrance floated from the water, and a forest slowly grew on the originally bare mountain around. After a while, it was getting light.
Tan Shunshan was overjoyed and hurried back to find his father. When I found my father, I told him about the miracle I saw last night. Father quickly said, "This is a lotus!" " "When they returned to the mountain, they quickly told the villagers about their meeting with Shen Lian, and everyone invited a group of people to see Shen Lian together. Later, they felt that this place was very aura, and simply moved their home to Tianchiling with some villagers. People strive to make this area a land of abundant crops and plenty of fish and rice.
This story reached the ears of Master Yu of Nanfu. He thought, "Give this lotus to the emperor, and you will get a high official." He quickly sent some servants, disguised as ordinary people, strolled to Tianchiling and secretly picked lotus flowers in the dead of night.
The villagers were so worried about Shen Lian's disappearance that they searched everywhere for his whereabouts. For fear of revealing clues, Master Yu planted Tan Shunshan and his son, tied them up and threw them into the pond. ...
Later, there were different opinions about the whereabouts of Shen Lian. Some people say that Shen Lian became a fire, and when it was burned to death, it flew into the sky. Some say that the lotus flies back to Tianchiling and turns into five peaks, protecting the big pond.
People living by the big pond named their hut "Lotus Pond" in memory of Shen Lian. The five surrounding peaks have guarded this Shenchi for generations. Since then, this area has become a place rich in food.
2. Below Sobya is the land of fish and rice, with beautiful mountains and rivers. Tujia children have been farming and working here for generations, living a well-fed life. This is the big village today.
Once upon a time, there lived a chitose fish monster in the Sun River at the foot of the mountain. It heard that Dakuai Village is a good place, where the meat is delicious, the wine is delicious, and the girls are particularly beautiful, so it became a scholar and went to Dakuai Village to have a look. The villagers hosted a banquet for it. After drinking tea and wine, the scholar told the villagers many anecdotes outside the stockade. The villagers listened with relish and deliberately stayed the scholar for a few more days.
The scholar wandered around the cottage all day, paying special attention to beautiful big girls and kannika nimtragol. One night, it turned into a fishy smell, snatched the Tujia girl who secretly loved it during the day, caught it in a cave and let it play, and swallowed it at once. Women are lost every day in the stockade, which makes people panic. Adults cry and children scream, which is very miserable. The crying shook Xiannv Rock.
It turns out that this Xiannv Rock is a physical change of the goddess of salt water. When the goddess saw that the fish monster and her children were restless, she had a plan to turn herself into a very beautiful girl and live in a house among the flooded rocks. Dressed up in front of the mirror during the day, singing sweet folk songs in his mouth, causing the fish monster to be crazy and anxious. ?
One night, taking advantage of the darkness, the fish monster turned into a hurricane and went straight to Yaomei's house, trying to take Yaomei away for fun. That thought the goddess of salt water was ready, got up and threw the monster into the water, showing her true colors and running for her life in the water. While the goddess of salt water was waiting to kill the monster, she thought, why not leave it and teach the wicked in the world a lesson.
So he poked a hole in the rock wall in the southeast and northwest of the flooded stream with his finger, and the water in the flooded stream flowed away from the hole. Fish monsters can't swim without water, and they can't move in flooded streams. Over time, it was dry. Everyone who lives here thanks the fairies on the Xiannv Rock for saving the lives of ordinary people.
